Hi! My name is Chawa, and I absolutely love working with children. I've spent the past year working at a Montessori school with toddlers aged 18 months to 3 years old, and it's been such a rewarding experience. I enjoy getting to know each child's unique personality and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where they feel comfortable and happy. I also have a few years of babysitting experience with children ranging from 12 months to 8 years old. My responsibilities have included diaper changes, bottle feeding and meals, preparing meals and snacks, engaging children in age-appropriate play and learning activities, reading, helping with nap time, and keeping their spaces clean and organized. I'm CPR, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) certified, and I always prioritize children's safety while creating a fun, nurturing, and positive environment where they can learn and grow. Families have described me as calm, responsible, and trustworthy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and love encouraging their curiosity through games, crafts, outdoor play, books, and other engaging activities. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, communicating openly with parents, and treating every child with kindness and patience. I'm happy to help with light housekeeping related to the children, meal preparation, homework assistance for older kids, and creating a smooth, stress free experience for the whole family. I look forward to getting to know your family!
I work for the School District so child safety is very important to me. I have a strong foundation for understanding child development across all age groups, from infant, toddlers to teenagers and years of experience with special needs. I am First Aid and CPR Trained. I am comfortable caring for up to two children and happy to help with feeding, laundry and light housekeeping. I am patient, calm, friendly, and always follow parents' lead when enforcing rules. I provide regular updates via text or phone call, according to your preference. I look forward to bringing my experience and passion to your family.
I am currently a director at an early learning center. I have worked directly with infants, toddlers, preschool and school age children. I love working with children but my specialty is 3 and older. I am creative and organized. Compassion and love are the two main qualities I bring to care!
Hi!! I’m Jennifer but go by Jenny. I just finished my senior year at Bellevue High. I grew up taking care of my cousins of all ages, so I have acquired a great deal of patience. Recently I have volunteered at our local boys and girls club in their preschool (daycare) and loved every second of it! I enjoy creative activities such as arts and crafts. I’ve been told to have great charisma and to have an admirable presence :) I have been driving for a little over a year now with a clean record! In my free time, I love writing music or playing the piano, as well as spending time outdoors!
